@Qtpaxa
I think it should solve your problem.

Download “Envy New” and let me know how it goes.

NOTE: if it doesn’t solve your problem you can always type:
sudo envy –uninstall-all

and the open source driver will be restored

I have a laptop with ubuntu gutsy gibbon installed. It is a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 with a Nvidia Gforce 420 Go. The problem is that when I chose the restricted drivers, when I reboot I only get a black screen. Then I can only conect my laptop to another screen with the vga cable, and chose the open drivers (I don’t have 3d graphics with them). I have never edited xorg.

Do you think envy is going to solve the “black screen problem”?

Sorry about my English, I’m Spanish;)

Hi Alberto,

I’ve tried evny 0.9.5 and was able to install the ATI drivers, however when I reboot my laptop the resolution was messed up and distorted.

I am using ATI FIREGL v5200 and the highest resolution supported is 1900×1200.

I would apprecaite if you can help me with this issue.

Thanks,

Hi Alberto, the problem was that I haven´t installed the lsb-release command ( I always install Debian using the minimal CD ) After this the script runs well, but when it starts to make de Debian packages using the ATI driver there are an error. It tries to make “Ubuntu/etch” packages instead of “Debian/etch” packages and the installation fails. I tried with envy stable and unstable. See you.

Now I have Ubuntu installed again on my laptop. This weekend I will try to reinstall Debian Etch on both computers, laptop and PC (one with Nvidia and the other with ATI ), and I will do this commands. Thank you very much, you are doing a great work

Lorca:
1) try Envy’s latest stable release
2) post the result of this command:
lsb_release -c
3) post your /var/log/envy-installer.log

I tried to use this new version of Envy on Debian Etch. When I try to install ATI´s driver Envy sends me a message like this: Your OS seems to be not compatible with Envy. What´s wrong ?
